Patent number: 11624394Abstract: Provided herein is a fastener that may be used to secure objects to a channel strut or attach a channel strut to a structure. In an arrangement, the fastener is a fastener block configured for disposition within the interior of a channel strut. The fastener block has a body that includes at least one pair of spaced apart and parallel recesses (e.g., recessed channels) sized to engage the inward lips of the strut channel. Once the pair to recessed channels engage the strut channel lips, the fastener block is prevented from rotating. At least one aperture extends through the fastener block between the parallel recessed channels. A fastener recess (e.g., hexagon recess) is recede into the block around the aperture. A standard nut or bolt may be inserted into the fastener recess.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2020Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: D Three Enterprises, LLCInventors: Richard F.

Publication number: 20180152133Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a roof mounting system that utilizes a base plate that is affixed to a roof surface by multiple fasteners (e.g., lag bolts, screws etc.) and a cap (e.g., top cap) that attaches to the base plate covering the fasteners affixing the base plate to the roof surface. Once attached, the top cap covers the fasteners preventing water infiltration. To further waterproof the fasteners affixing the base plate to the roof surface, the base plate includes a raised or elevated section on its top surface with a planar flange extending around the elevated section. A portion of the flange may be disposed beneath a single or shingles on a roof surface. The fasteners extend through the elevated section. Accordingly, water drains around the elevated section when the base plate is attached to a roof surface further isolating the fasteners.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2017Publication date: May 31, 2018Applicant: D Three Enterprises LLCInventors: Richard F.

Patent number: 9620870Abstract: An adjustable mounting system for mounting solar panels on roofs is disclosed. The system allows a user to mount the solar panels either with or without rails. The mounting assemblies are adjustable to allow the user to mount a base plate in a chosen location (either on a roof joist or other structural member or not) and to adjust the mounting location for the panel in as many as three axis of adjustment from the location of the base plate. A system for mounting and grounding the panels at the same time is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2015Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: D Three Enterprises, LLCInventors: Richard F.

Patent number: 9068339Abstract: A roof standoff having a base attached to a roof surface using one or more threaded fasteners or screws. The base has a threaded hole that is aligned with a hole in a raised flashing that overlays the base to prevent water from infiltrating the holes in the roof formed by the threaded fasteners. A bolt threadably engages the threaded hole of the base to attach a bracket to the base. Objects may engage with the bracket such that these objects are supported by the roof standoff.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2014Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Assignee: D THREE ENTERPRISES, LLCInventors: Richard F.

Publication number: 20150013237Abstract: Interlocking support posts form an interlocking rack system which may have a single mold which provides both a male and a female joinder member. Between the support posts can be mounted panels such as solar panels. Under the support posts can be installed a roof stand off assembly which prevents water from weakening the roof Various combinations of construction members offer a cost effective building block array of mounting panels, wind turbines, and any appliance on a roof and/or anywhere in a building. A two recess mounting bracket is ideally suited to mount solar panels on a roof. A lower recess can be fastened to a bolt anchor on the roof. The opposing recess can secure a mounting clip which attaches directly to the solar panel. Identical support posts can interlock. Various embodiments include conduit clasps, slider tracks, mounts for cabinets, sign posts, and thru roof screwed anchors.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2014Publication date: January 15, 2015Applicant: D THREE ENTERPRISES, LLCInventors: Richard F.
